Color for Websites : Digital Media Design (Digital Media Design)

As all web designers know, colour is a crucial ingredient in any website. From the very basic level of attracting potential ‘surfers’ to stop and take a thorough look at a site, to the more complex navigational requirements of layered information, colour use can make or break a website. As with Color & Type for the Screen, this book examines in depth the differences in value between colour on screen and on printed material. Through outstanding examples of good colour use in websites – both high- and low-budget – this book provides the reader with an insight into what’s current, as well as looking to the future. A must for students and practising designers, and an extremely useful reference tool for those who commission web design. Molly E.
